Giant George by Dave Nasser

Startlingly honest and well-written, Giant George’s story stands apart from the slew of other dog books on the shelves.

Synopsis

With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size and, most of all, scared of being alone.

GIANT GEORGE is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar. In 2010, George was named by Guinness World Records as the Tallest Dog in the World-ever. He appeared on Oprah, and even has his own global fan club. But to Dave and Christie, this extraordinary animal is still their beloved pet, the one who has made them laugh, made them cry, and continues to make them incredibly happy.

Dave Nasser has a degree in Economics and a Masters in Public Administration. He renovates houses and sells real estate in Tucson, where he lives with wife Christie, two young children, and, of course, Giant George.
